What errors are in the Bible, but many of these ‘inaccuracies’ can be explained. For example the smallest seed, stars falling, ant behaviour, solid sky…

Does Genesis fail scientific study? Is there is any science behind it. The earth was a formless ball in space without any vegetation or inhabitants.

Creation days 2 and 3. Until scientists studied the earth’s atmosphere, we never realised how important it is! Dry ground appears, vegetation grows..

The Creation of the sun moon and stars in Day 4 in the Bible is illogical. This happened AFTER light had appeared on day 1 of Creation. Is it scientific?

Genesis and science does it stand up? According to their kinds is a very important phrase in Creation – it does not mean species, it is a broader group…

Oldest surviving inscriptions: 3300 BC. Could early man write before that? ‘Popular history’ says it was by word of mouth and includes exaggeration.

The Garden of Eden can’t be a parable to teach us moral truth, it’s too detailed. The Bible always says if it is a parable, so we know whether it is real…

God named these things in Genesis – day, night, sky / atmosphere, land, sea and stars. Perhaps He wanted to call attention to their importance…
Category: Are there Bible errors in Genesis?
How reliable is the Bible?
Many are quick to point out supposed errors within the Bible, but the Bible can use a phrase like we so often use phrases, but we don’t start to beat ourselves up because we have used the words in an unscientific way.
The Bible is not a scientific book describing certain experiments.
But what is written in the Bible is correct and is not in error, and is trustworthy.
Can we trust Genesis?
Genesis has a lot of criticism thrown at it, but does the creation story fail scientific study?
It can be studied logically.
Was the Garden of Eden a real place, or was it just a parable?
The term created ‘according to their kinds’ is an important piece of information.
Many say that the Bible is unreliable because it was passed from mouth to mouth and is prone to exaggeration.
But is it possible that early man could write far earlier than we assumed?
